Young MC - Coast 2 Coast lyrics

I met a girl named hip hop in seventy eight Hollis Queens New York gave us our first date Man she broke me off proper yo the girl was fast And everybody kept telling me it would not last Cause ain't no women in the world supposed to be that sweet And ya just can't trust a hot chick from the street I could tell she had been through lots of struggle and strife But yet in still she'd been with me over half of my life Born key Jeff Taylor took me into his home And intrduced me to some tables and a microphone Hip hop talked to me told me take your time At the age of eleven I bust my first rhyme Block partys in the day house partys at night Just about one year before Rapper's Delight Everybody in the crew called to make a request Cause rap's on the radio and hip-hop was blessed Didn't go to many clubs I wasn't old enough And if it try to sneak it out my folks is scolding up But I still do anything to get on stage And once I got a club gig I lied about my age Just a couple blocks away was the Hollis crew Run and them used to rock at one ninety two Up the street was a crew called Solo Sounds Where Davey D and Mex used to throw it down Man I wouldn't trade rap for anything in the world Hip hop meant more to me than diamonds and pearls And I still reminicse to this very day And I remember those words hip hop would say (Do you have love for the east coast?) Yes I do (the hip hop on the east coast?) Yeah that's true From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' East coast played a role in making a hip hop (Do you have love for the east coast?) Yeah that's right (the hip hop on the east coast?) Yeah that's tight From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' East coast played a role in making a hip hop Now I gotta get busy time to make that move High school over with gotta sho' improve Got college on the coast and I'm makin' plans So hip hip went and told me go west young man It was a different kind of style but I liked the sound Everybody in the house gauranteed to get down I did the casa skateland word on wheels And the crazy crazy world of the record deal K-day was the station that played my song I got love from the people it's a shame they gone Julio and Tony G yo was keeping it real And Baker Boys doin' they own up in Bakersville I remember other brothers putting out the gin Like six in the morning and the battle ran There were boys in the hood and little Nenah Cherry And oh I can't forget about ooh Rock Berry Before the madness when I made my fame Alot of people on the west coast knew my name Before the big magizines even wanted to meet me I checked the back pages of the L.A. weekly To see if they would write and recognize the sound Cause in those days Young MC was underground Lot of times I would rhyme and I'd get no pay But I remember those words hip hop would say (Do you have love for the west coast?) Yes I do (the hip hop on the west coast?) Yeah that's true From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' West coast played a role in making a hip hop (Do you have love for the west coast?) Yeah that's right (the hip hop on the west coast?) Yeah that's tight From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' West coast played a role in making a hip hop Talk of an east coast west coast beef makes me panic I love both sides so I'm straight skitzafrenic Got my sk**s in the east got my deal in the west So I just can't say what side is the best Now you love where you live that's true indeed Cause your family and friends give you what you need Stand up for yo' hood and you do it with pride But the media tells you hate the other side Now it's hard to hate a man that I have not met Or hate a whole damn coast like a???? Cause hip hop is wit ya no matter where you stay So remember these words hip hop would say (Do you have love for the east coast?) Yes I do (the hip hop on the east coast?) Yeah that's true From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' East coast played a role in making a hip hop (Do you have love for the west coast?) Yeah that's right (the hip hop on the west coast?) Yeah that's tight From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' West coast played a role in making a hip hop (do you have love for the east coast?) Yes I do (the hip hop on the west coast?) Yeah that's true From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' Both coasts played a role in making hip hop (do you have love for the west coast?) Yeah that's right (the hip hop on the east coast?) Yeah that's tight From the 'yes yes y'all' to 'and you don't stop' Both coasts played a role in making hip hop (coast to coast)
